Srinagar, October 14
(KMS): In occupied Kashmir, the veteran Hurriyet leader, Syed Ali Gilani has
said that if world comes to know about the real and cruel face of Indian army
in Kashmir, India will have to face embarrassment at the international level,
and will lose the mantra of a big democratic country in the world.

Syed Ali Gilani in a
statement issued in Srinagar maintained that the Kashmiris were fully aware of
the cruelties of the Indian army in the territory. He slammed Indian Defence Minister
Manohar ParrikAr for criticizing Pakistan Army saying that India through such
propaganda wanted to hide its war crimes in Kashmir.

The veteran leader
said, “From the last 68 years, Kashmiris are not only watching the criminal
attitude but they are the worst victims of their acts and this army has killed
tens of thousands innocent Kashmiris, raped thousands of their daughters and
sisters and destroyed their houses and property worth billions of rupees,”
according to his spokesman Ayaz Akbar.

The spokesman said
that the accusations of Parrikar were based on guesses and hypotheses and “if
world comes to know about the real and cruel face of army in Kashmir, India
will have to face embarrassment on the international forums and it will lose
the mantra of a big democratic country in the world.”

Ayaz Akbar said that
the freedom struggle of Kashmiris was an indigenous movement and they were
struggling for their birth and basic right of self-determination. “We have no
direct relationship with the Pakistan army but what the Indian army is doing in
occupied Kashmir to suppress our just and genuine demands, we are watching that
with our own eyes,” he added.

The spokesman said
that the argument of Manohar Parrikar was just a poetic imagination, and he
could not present any solid proof in support of his argument. “It is just a
negative propaganda through which New Delhi wants to hide its war crimes and
human rights violations in Jammu & Kashmir,” he said.

The spokesman said
that Kashmiris knew that the Pakistan army had been a big supporter of their
right to self determination and they had never opposed the holding of
referendum in Jammu and Kashmir.

“There is no record of killing
of any Kashmiri by the Pakistan army and they have always worked to protect the
modesty of the Kashmiri daughters and sisters,” he added.
